Aria Sliders on Mobile

Hi All,

I'm investigating the use of sliders (role=slider), with the intention
of finding a slider that also works with VoiceOver/iOS and
Talkback/Android. I've read some old Webaim threads that indicate the
slider role is not well supported by VO or Talkback. Does anyone know if
anything has changed or can point me to a working slider?

I've tested several "accessible" sliders and none function as
expected/desired. The following were tested:

Thanks,

Greg
